Power and Empire Chapter 2494: Thunderstorm (14)
"Uh, the Fazerians have really done something to the South!"
Under the light and dark candlelight, Situ Luhan seemed calm to the report sent by Princess Rensha, forcing the Fazerites to act in the south. This was the core of the Empire’s entire strategic layout of Fazer, and Fazer was also A powerful country that has rooted in the south for hundreds of years, and has several kingdoms in the south as support, it can be said to have deep roots. The best way to deal with such a country is to consume its national power, not to mention that Fei Zeben is a vassal country. A very harsh slave country, the vassal kingdom is a back garden for taking and forfeiting in Fize’s eyes. There is no possibility of scruples at all.
"From the map, the most direct way for the empire to enter Southern Europe is not from the inner sea area, but directly along the outer sea transportation line to the south. This is destined to be a life-and-death contest between the empire and Fazer!" Situ Khan's eyes flickered, and the words that the Emperor said to himself before leaving the empire, the Emperor personally pointed to the continent map drawn on the table
" The entire Oubaro saw the Fazers advancing on the Paput battlefield, and they were completely different from the fiasco in the North-South war. The empire’s reputation in South Oubaro was greatly damaged, but this is not important. Few people will notice that the more troops Fei Ze people use, the more materials they need to mobilize and consume."
"Fezze has never been a country rich in materials. Excluding the foreign trade exchange income, the part deprived from the southern vassal kingdoms, the remaining is one-third. The farming production of Fezze still relies on slavery farming. , The efficiency is low, and the focus of expansion has been placed on the inland for a long time, so the fishery is not good either."
"The failure of the marriage with Paput made the difficult situation Fazer faced in the end even worse. Hundreds of thousands of troops have entered the battlefield, and the daily consumption of materials is an astronomical figure. We have already used Paput. The war dragged on Fazer for three months. Even if Fazer had all the hoarding before, it is now exhausted. In order to sustain it, Fazer can only obtain resources from one direction, and that is the South, which also allows you to go. The purpose of the South is, no matter the luxuriant tree, if the root system cannot absorb nutrients from the ground, then the huge crown will only make it quickly wither! In order to maintain this military strength, the Fezer Kingdom is the only one that can finally What you have to do is to choose between burning the country and burning the south, and all you have to do is to push the south to stand on the side of the empire at this time!"
"What is your Royal Highness's plan now?"
Si Du Jiehan took a deep breath, put down the report in his hand, and asked calmly, although he had expected it, but when he really faced it, Si Du Jiehan could feel an oppression. The atmosphere rushes over his face. This is the breath of the times. Situ Khan feels like he is standing on a certain height, watching the history happening in front of his eyes. The time of coming is not short, he also It is roughly necessary to understand the situation of the ten southern countries of Feize. Except for vassal forces such as Nan Anfu, there are real kingdoms with certain strength. From the perspective of Feize people, it is not difficult to understand the motives of the killings in Kyoto. Not only to grab the wealth of those southern nobles, but also because Fei Ze felt the ambition and restlessness from the south
Since the defeat in the North-South War, the South has begun to show instability. As the Central Eight-Nation Alliance declared war on Feize at the same time, this instability finally broke out. Feize was forced to maintain the situation with all his strength. As far as the South is concerned, it is undoubtedly considered to be a great opportunity for a thousand years to come
The situation at the time was absolutely chaotic. It was only a vague understanding of Situ Yuhan. Those southern aristocrats in the capital of Feize had suddenly jointly proposed to Feize people to reduce their tribute taxes some time ago. For the always strong Feize people, this kind of move was like a slap in the face, but at that time, Fei Zejun’s 200,000 yuan was trapped in the Paput battlefield. The eight countries in the central region suddenly allied to declare war on Feize, and the situation was abrupt. In order to stabilize as quickly as possible, Feize had to gritted his teeth and agreed to the requests of the southern nobles. If you understand the nature of the Feize people, you will know the ferocious Feize people, but they have to make concessions. Once they get the opportunity, they will definitely I will step back without hesitation
But these southern aristocrats have been blinded by the sudden victory, and they once again proposed that the various countries send servants to assist the Fazers in the fight and ask Fazers to pay for the service, and at the same time transport a large amount of food from their home countries. King Ze was selling at a high price, causing the price of food in King Fezer to change three times a day. Merchants also followed the trend and hoarding, which directly caused King Feize to have more than 4,000 civilians in just half a month because they couldn’t buy it. They starved to death from food, the streets were crowded with a large number of bankrupt refugees, and even the nobles began to tighten their belts. This blatant act of sending Fei Zeguo's wealth is no different from the robbery, which completely angered Fei Ze. The reason for people,
"To be honest, I don’t know which side Nan Anfu should be on? I believe this news will spread all over the South soon. If Nan Anfu hasn’t even expressed it by then, then we may become enemies of both sides. !" Princess Rensha's pretty face was slightly bleak,
" I’m an outsider who can’t say anything about Nan’anfu’s state affairs, but I don’t know, if Nan’anfu is on Feize’s side, what benefits will Feize’s victory give to Nan’anfu?" Si Du Jianhan looked calm. Put the report in his hand on the table, smile at the corner of his mouth, and get along for many days. How can the thoughts of this little princess be hidden from his eyes?
"It won't do any good" Princess Lensa showed a daze on her face,
"That's it!" Situ Zhehan tapped the report on the table with his fingers, and smiled, "Nan'anfu area is also part of the south. This time, the Fei Ze people are clearly targeting the entire south, so in After defeating the South, I also don’t miss the Nananfu Kingdom, which is also the South. As long as you are not a fool, you know that there is actually only one way to go in this war, and that is to invest in the southern army."
" But if it's the Southern Army... "Princess Lunsha wanted to say something but stopped. She wanted to say that if the Southern Army would not take Nan'an Fu seriously, the current Nan'an Fu is not a war. The former Nan'an Fu, at that time Nan'an Fu still had some wealth. Although the South still does not take Nan'an Fu seriously, at least it will not completely ignore it as it is now. It is because of Nan'an Fu's ability to become a bargaining chip. None
" The princess has been worrying too much. In my opinion, it is now time for Nan'an Fu to get a good value."
Si Du Zhihan shook his head, looked at the black curtain-like night outside the window, and said, "Nan Anfu is the southern gateway to Fei Zejun, and it is also the first battlefield facing Fei Zejun. Nan Anfu is on that side and will Directly decide who will defend and attack! Who will take the initiative in the entire war, if I guess right, Nan Anfu doesn’t have to be so anxious at all, because someone will come from the South soon!"
"What if the Southern Army wins and stays in Nan'anfu and is unwilling to leave?" Princess Lunsha hesitated, gritted her teeth and asked
" Don’t worry, if the Confederate Army wins, they will be placed in front of them by the vast Fei Ze Plateau. They will only be busy robbing the Fei Ze people’s turf, and how can they look at the Nan'an Fu area, which is full of mountains, let alone Nan Anfu just suffered from the war, and the South wanted nothing. "There was a glimmer of light in Si Du Zhanhan’s eyes. He was not a rookie who had never been on the battlefield. In fact, he was following the situation experienced in the early days of the rise of the Falcon Empire. The change is more complicated than the current situation, so I know more about what the southern forces are really pursuing. Fei Ze’s domestic military has been emptied, and there are half a million troops in the air, but they have been nailed to death one by one. This is a hundred years of expense. When Ze Kingdom was at its weakest, he was like a strong man with his limbs firmly fixed to death. It was just a thin child holding a sword, and he could be stabbed to death with a single sword.
The South is undoubtedly the child with a sword. For the South’s gaze, Fei Ze just adopted a preemptive attitude in advance, like a beast forced into a poor alley. What he can do now is to show his mouth full. Sharp teeth, otherwise they will be torn apart by other forces. Is this the truth about the Faze people's use of force against the south. . . . . .
Princess Lunsha’s pretty face is silent, Nan'an Fu is too weak, the population of the country is only 50,000, not even a small and medium-sized city, whether it is in the eyes of the Southern Army or the Feize people, Nan'an The rich areas are not able to be on the stage, so that the way of thinking about problems is so narrow. Even an outsider like Si Du Zhanhan can understand the truth, but he can't understand it. It is really embarrassing to leave home.
Situ Khan looked at the princess Lunsha, who had a complicated look with a firm look and secretly bit her lip, and said in a slow voice, "To support this war, Fei Ze has now used more than 400,000 troops, and the war has always been extremely exhausted. Things, the lingering war is like a valve that can’t be closed. Faze’s domestic weak national power due to the imperial commercial embargo is finally on the verge of collapse. I originally thought that Faze’s team started in the south, and it should be. After December, because Feize’s domestic forces have already been vacated, if new troops are recruited, plus training time, how can it take two to three months, but this time, Feize’s people have already given up recruiting. The new army’s plan is to directly dispatch the last reserve force in the country, the imperial guards stationed in King Fezer’s capital all the year round. It is enough to show that the situation in Feize has deteriorated to a certain extent. Under circumstances, how could the South not be tempted"
"In fact, in addition to the South, other kingdoms in the South will also do it."
Sidulhan’s voice paused. He has been in the south for more than half a month, and he has roughly figured out Fei Ze’s situation in the south. Fei Ze is the overlord of the West Coast, but it does not mean that he is the overlord of the South. The south of Ze is also facing various pressures, such as the Kingdom of Mias, a country in the mountains, with 600,000 people, 18 small and medium-sized cities, and the capital of the king is the famous forging capital in the south, one hundred and fifty. Years ago, they were defeated because they competed with the Fazers of the same generation for hegemony on the west coast. They chose to migrate to the Mias Plateau in the south. With such an opportunity, how could this country that had been driven out of the country let it go?
There are also people from the Aarens Plateau entrenched in the southern plateau. Fifty years ago, the Fazers invaded the Aarens Plateau and slaughtered more than 300,000 Aarens people. If you count the time, that year The descendants of the people on the plateau who were slaughtered and killed are the same group of people who hold the power of the tribe, and the idea that has always been opposed to Fei Ze. The Su Forest Kingdom is also one of the strongest regional forces in the south. Although the population is There are only 700,000, but it has a standing force of 110,000. It can be described as a tribal force that is all soldiers. The idea of Su Forest Archer is synonymous with marksman in the south. He is active in the largest forest zone across the entire southern Obaro, known as the idea of getting ideas. The mysterious tribe of Su Forest’s eternal shelter is also a very unique force in the south. Under normal circumstances, no such force wants to provoke this forest kingdom.
Although the Fei Ze people are strong, they didn’t have much to do with the idea of the Su Forest Kingdom. The reason why the Forest Kingdom was surrendered at the beginning was even planned to ambush the King of the Forest Kingdom in the forest hinterland in the cold winter season, and succeeded. After that, he completely took over his mortal feud with the Forest Kingdom. Hundred years passed, thinking that the Su Forest Kingdom is like a solid barrier, making Faze people who want to continue to expand to the south look forward to Lin Xing sigh~IndoMTL.com~Nobody Being able to fight against the Sisu people in the forest is already a consensus in the south. As long as there is woodland, the Sisu people can always make themselves difficult to capture.
" In this way, this is not just a crisis, but an excellent opportunity for Nan'an Fu. Fortunately, Sir Si Du Yuhan is here, otherwise I would never think of these "getting completely different from Si Du Han’s mouth." After his thoughts, most of the sorrow on Princess Rensha's face disappeared, and she spit out her tongue playfully, revealing a touch of cuteness that belongs to a girl
"If you come from the South, don’t rush to express your opinion, remember this!"
Si Du Jiehan put down the report in his hand, took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, and he didn’t know what he was thinking about. Naturally, he did not come to take a vacation when he ventured into the south. In fact, he came for this change. Fei The domestic economy of Zee is almost bankrupt due to commercial lock-ups. As Feize’s domestic supplies are gradually depleted, Feize can still choose to plunder outside. Because of the rise of the Central Alliance, Feize’s hope of expanding eastward is temporarily Contained, since it is impossible to go west, then the only direction Feize can use force is to go south. Feize people really did that, and this thunderstorm is about to come!
"I understand, I will go there in person, otherwise I'm afraid they will get confused."
Princess Lunsha bid farewell to Si Du Youhan, and now the high-level leaders are in a mess, and even the Prime Minister of the Kingdom has come in person. It is conceivable that no one would think that Si Du Youhan is as thorough and gentle and glances over the Secretary. Du Zhanhan’s resolute, middle-aged aristocratic face, Lensha’s pretty white cheeks turned red unexpectedly [to be continued] []
